More on the Dutch tulip fields

Our little queen among dandelions with the tulip fields in the distance

I know that my posts lately have been more on the Dutch flower fields but seeing that much beauty makes it impossible to not be carried away and have that overwhelming desire to share them.

On this particular day that we celebrated Queen’s Day (30th April) we were simply super lucky with the weather of warm temperature and blue skies as the days after were again chilly, wet and grey. That day was a one-off and I am glad that we had these pictures as reminder of that one seemingly rare warm spring day.

About MalouI'm a mom to a five-year old little girl with interest in cooking, baking, traveling and photography. Castles and palaces are special favorites so when weather permits for a good walk on weekends, me, hubby and little girl are always out for a bit of adventure.

She are one with the flowers, you have done her into a little human that love the … nature. Stunning flowers, little princess … and you two … what a package … what an eye candy. Really love those photos.

Thanks a lot, Viveka. It was a beautiful day and the inspiration to take these pictures was there. Glad we went there that day because we pass by the area yesterday and most of the flowers were already cut-off. Besides, the weather is bleak again…grey, cold and wet. ;-)

It was full summer on your photos and we had a fantastic weather too for weeks, they had promised colder and wet this weekend, but it never happen. Maybe we will get from you next week. The spring is too early this year – so I don’t hope that is has been the summer we got already.

I’m glad that you continue to share the beauty of the flower fields! We have also been experiencing many days of cool grey weather so I enjoy your splashes of colour very much. The grass is finally green here and the leaves are beginning to show on the trees but on a dismal rainy day like today it’s nice to be reminded of sunshine.

Delightful series Malou !!!
A real celebration of colous washed by generous sunshine and fabulous sceneries with amazing perspective !!!
Your little queen is a very special flower among the colourful blooms !!!
Great share,my friend,radiating light and happiness !
Cheers

I loved seeing the tulips in bloom when I was there ages ago (visiting my sister who has lived in Amsterdam since the 70’s). And visiting the flower market. Nothing like it in the world! Here in Minnesota, we relish the small plots of tulips that we tend in our gardens, colorful spring relief after long, cold winters.

Gorgeous, fantastic, and I love looking at these. I recently found out a coworker grew up in the Netherlands and remembers flying in over the fields of tulips just one time. She also talks about the snapdragons. But she gave me a good history on how the tulips are reaped, and now your posts mean even more to me.

Thanks a lot, sillyliss. I can tell you what an amazing experience it was to see the flower fields from the air, like a tapestry of colors. I hope someday that you also get to visit this country…in spring. ;-)

These are awesome, so nice for the eye…My dad’s favorite flower was tulip and he’s been with the angels for almost 7 years now and so whenever I see tulips it’s a personal reminder for me…Beautiful photography, lovely family…

Again absolutely beautiful. The colour is breathtaking and your little girl is so at one with it all. It reminds me of the images of Van Gogh. The saying that one can become intoxicated by colour is so true in what you’ve presented here. I couldn’t imagine anything more marvellous than walking through that beauty. Is there any kind of scent in the air as you walk there?

Thanks a lot. Other people travel long distances just to see this spectacle while the people here ignore what is right before their eyes. I love these fields and yes, they are for free which is even better. ;-)

Hi Malou, Thanks for visiting my blog. I thought I’d stop by and see yours and what a nice surprise! Such beautiful photos! My husband loves tulips so I’ll tell him to stop by and enjoy it as well. Lovely family too. :) Enjoy, Kat

Thanks, Malou. Your blog is beautiful! We are currently working on a difficult jigsaw puzzle of tulip fields so I will bring my son here to see your lovely photos and the photos of Tuscany. Lovely rolling hills and vineyards, and a beautiful princess to enjoy it all. :)

Here in the US, Oregon is the place for tulips. When I lived there I spent as much time as I could in the tulip fields. The color and the lines were irresistible. I understand why you love them so much. :)

Hello Malou. I went up north to see the tulip fields (as you suggested) and had a wonderful time. The ‘harvest’ had removed most of the blooms but there were still plenty to see. In addition I went to Kreukenhof where there were many varieties but most blemished and clearly nearing the end of the season. Thanks for your help with planning.

Mid-April is the best time to see Keukenhof and the flower fields. We also went to the flower fields on 30 April and were just in time because the farmers were already about to cut off the flowers. ;-)

Love the colors – I’m from Holland, Michigan where the tulips bloom every May…living in the desert in Phoenix, Arizona for the last 30 years…NEVER loose my love of tulips…always remind me of home! So thank you!!!

Thanks a lot. I’m sure that the desert of Arizona has its own charm. Been to your part of the world once and would love to come back again in the future. Glad to know that tulips remind you of home. ;-)
